Phoenix Radio: Tim Richards To KMLE

Tim Richards

Former CCM+E Phoenix KZZP-FM PD Tim Richards has moved
across the street to become the new Program Director of CBS Radio’s Country KMLE-FM.

A radio veteran with 20-years experience, has also
programmed in Detroit, Chicago
and Tucson and began his career as APD/MD in Boston at MIX 98.5. He’s
a Chicago native and got his degree in radio
from ColumbiaCollege.

Richards' new gig marks a return to CBS Radio and a reunion with CBS Radio SVP of Programming Greg Strassell, with whom Richards worked at WBMX/Boston until 1996.

“I couldn’t be more excited to work with CBS Radio Management
and the KMLE team”, said Richards. “KMLE
is a legendary station and it’s an honor to be chosen as the next leader of
this incredible brand.”

“Tim was the perfect choice to lead our programming efforts
at KMLE,” said Tim Pohlman, Senior Vice President and Market Manager for CBS
RADIO Phoenix.
“His leadership, prior success and positive attitude will add so much to an
already great team.”
